Mindanao Adventist Chaplains Unite to Enhance Spiritual Care and Mission Impact
Chaplains from Adventist hospitals in Mindanao recently gathered to deliberate on crucial matters related to the spirituality of hospital workers, patient care, and the integral role these aspects play in advancing the church's mission. The gathering took place at the SWPUC headquarters on November 28-30, 2023.
Under the guidance of Pr. Elvin Salarda, the Adventist Chaplain Ministries Director, the event paved the way for fruitful discussions. Attendees included chaplains such as Victor Navarro of Iligan City Adventist Medical Hospital; Jimmy Sabandal of Davao City Adventist Medical Hospital; Jovyn Jimenez of Valencia City Adventist Medical Hospital; and Joesel Grijaldo of Gingoog Sanitarium and Hospital. Spouses of the chaplains also attended, adding a familial touch to the gathering.
The highlights of the meeting were the crafted endorsements addressed to the Adventist Chaplain Ministries Committee of SWPUC. These endorsements aim to fortify and elevate the role of hospital chaplains, emphasizing more heightened efficiency in the service.
The event concluded with a renewed commitment to delivering spiritual care to others.
